The sounds of the environment (folly) and digital sounds are elements that can be used in a musical composition. Describe your sound scape and explain how the elements are manipulated to express feelings and ideas.

My soundscape uses background music in order to give the listener a sense of what the mood of the scene in the animation is.

(Eg 1.My proudest moment was when my composition was impactful - it has an emotional effect on the performers and/or the listeners.
Eg 2. I could use my composition for a purpose (such as a phone ringtone) or event (Chinese New Year celebrations)
My proudest moment was when my group received compliments and constructive feedback from the other groups as it gave us an idea on how to improve and do better.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
(eg. The greatest challenge was to be different from other groups as there is temptation to copy others.)
My greatest challenge was to come up with an original rhythm and melody which would also work well with the other group member's music in order to sound harmonious and in sync.
What can I do to improve?
(eg. To encourage my team members to give their best, and get every member to be fully involved in the group project.)
I can improve by providing more constructive criticism and useful feedback so that we will be able to work better as a team.]]> 2019-02-04 01:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/327137238 Creativity xingle_wong06 https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/327137240 Have I grown in creativity?

I hope I will be able to build a working prototype which is well developed and has intricacy and complexity. I hope the project will include symbolism and stay true to the theme provided.
Project Management: I hope I will be able to stay on task and not lose focus
I hope I will be able to improve my time management by completing my project a few days before the deadline and not having to scrape together something at the last moment. I also wish to set milestones and smaller deadlines in order to track our progress and ensure we stay on track.

Expression:
I hope to be able to empathise with the target audience and produce a product catering to their needs, likes and dislikes. This would also include communication in order to further understand them so I will be able to build a prototype meeting their standards.]]> 2019-02-04 01:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/327137253 Bi-centennial Commemoration Souvenir Design Project xingle_wong06 https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/327137259 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MR7eig1VLe-c9EFMK4wpgmQgbBpyhR5_MRB4YwjsZ5I/edit?ts=5d26a84e#slide=id.g1bda1fe683_0_133

 My proudest moment was when my partner and I managed to create a working prototype that was interesting and functional. This is as I achieved my goals and was able to create a mechanism that I was proud of.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
I think my greatest challenge was time management as my partner and I found it challenging to construct our product in time and stay on task.
What can I do to improve?
I can improve by setting clearer goals with time markers in order to create a plan that we can stick to.

My proudest moment was when my group was able to come up with and execute our ideas in a skillful manner in order to produce a piece of work we were proud of
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenges was having the patience when it came to taking the photos that would make the animation. We had to make tiny movements in a painstaking manner in order to produce a fluid animation 
What can I do to improve?
I think I can improve by enhancing my skills and learning how to produce smoother looking animations and more fluid and dynamic actions in our animations

Explain why it is the most creative. What can you say about the form (how it looks)? What can you say about the function (how the mechanisms work)? In what ways are the form and/or function creative? https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/389837810 The form is aesthetically pleasing and interesting to look at. Furthermore, the inclusion of various images helps me to visualise Singapore's journey. The . mechanisms are well thought out and serve their purpose well. I especially liked the inclusion of the microbit as I found that it made it more interesting. The form and function were creative as they included both mechanisms and images to bring the viewer through Singapore's past, present and future.
2. What can you learn from it? What elements can be applied to your own bicentennial souvenir?
 I can learn from it by applying its elements of engagement using images and creative use of technology. This is as I find that the technology they used in the form of the microbit helped to make it more interesting and engaging.]]> 2019-09-26 03:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/389837810 IRMY xingle_wong06 https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/401255330 What is one thing that really excited you?
One thing that really excited me was the inclusion of technology in our projects. The integration of technology like microbit and stop motion allowed us to further our ideas and create interesting products.
What are some things you can design around you?
I can design art pieces to destress and compose music in order to create new pieces to play on various instruments. Furthermore, I can build prototypes to solve the problems I see in my daily life.
How would you use what you have learnt to make life better for you and others?
I can use what I have learnt by applying the design process in my daily life when doing creative work as this will help me to create and think of interesting ideas and prototypes. Furthermore, I can apply the skills I learnt such as stop motion, coding, garage band and design.]]> 2019-10-23 03:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/xingle_wong06/x92gnr65jxvb/wish/401255330
